Located discretely behind the Inn and designed to fit into the rural landscape, all our rooms have country views, some facing east over neighbouring farmland whilst others look out over our lovely garden. All rooms are now bookable on a bed and breakfast basis, with the option to book a table in the Inn for lunch or an evening meal. There's also two convenient EV Charge points available for patrons.

We gave the Social Media Coordinator the day off for her birthday (aren't we nice?!) but didn't have any content without her help 🥹

We miss her already* and can't wait until she's back taking photos of all our food, drinks and the pub in really excellent lighting.

We believe there is a difference between being dog-friendly and dog-welcoming. 🐾

Dog-friendly means you don't have access to the restaurant you booked, but a tucked away table far from the atmosphere.

Dog-welcoming means you and your fuzzy family will all have room to gather.

As a dog-welcoming pub we're proud to have a sticker on our front windows that declares us Rover.com's favourite dog-friendly pub in the East of England. We have ice creams for your four-legged friend and the dog's dinner is even on the menu! Looking for an overnight stay your canine will rate four paws up? Book in online or give us a call to secure your welcome to The Ferry Boat Inn.
